Beta Beta Beta - National Biological Honor Society
Beta Beta Beta is the National Biological Honor Society for students devoted
to improving the understanding and appreciation of the biological field of
study. Members are also dedicated to improving knowledge through scientific
research. Tri Beta was founded in 1922 and since then more than 430 chapters
have been established in the United States and Puerto Rico and over 175,000
members have accepted lifetime
membership. The first chapter, the Alpha chapter was established by Dr. Frank
G.
Brooks in 1922 at Oklahoma City University. By 1925 the society was a national
organization and in 1930 the society journal, BIOS, began publication of student
research.
The Alpha Pi chapter was founded at Mary Baldwin in 1948. To date 447 students have met the national standards and been inducted into the honor society.
